   Personally I make a strong distinction between a "bug report" and a   
   "feature request" submission to bug report tool-chain.   
      
   In this case I think the actual bug is in the _order_ operations are   
   performed when sending an email. Checking address for validity should be   
   done before the email creation routine attempts writing a new address to   
   the address book,
